Jay Graydon Songs

This section will list all of the songs Jay Graydon has composed over the years - alone or together with other gifted song
writers. Jay composed his first song together with his Mom Grace Graydon - she wrote the lyrics. The title is "BRING YOUR LOVE TO ME"
and it was recorded with Jay's first band The Veltones probably in late 1965. They booked a 2 track studio for 44 dollars including
4 acetates (reference disks which will wear out fast) and they recorded the above song and some cover song. Jay recalls...
" We recorded the basic track (no vocals) "mono" on one track. Within a few takes of both tunes, time to overdub the vocals. This was a
little scary since we were not used to earphones when singing. Anyway, I was having the time of my life! The sad thing is that all acetates
are lost and the 2 track master was in the trunk of a friend's car that was junked. I was young and stupid regarding archiving for the future."
In other words Jay started writing songs at a very young age and since then he has composed well over 280 songs.

Jay Graydon is an extremely versatile artist who masters many different styles and genres, and his own solo albums are featuring
straight-ahead jazz, R&B, AC - adult contemporary pop, AAA, smooth jazz, POP and genuine retro surf from the 60s.
Some of Jay's greatest hits include Grammy awarded TURN YOUR LOVE AROUND - a number 1 hit with George Benson, many songs co-written with
super producer and long time pal David Foster, e.g. the Grammy awarded AFTER THE LOVE HAS GONE - a huge number 1 hit with Earth, Wind and
Fire and FRIENDS IN LOVE with Dionne Warwick and Johnny Mathis, several hits with Al Jarreau (e.g. MORNIN', BREAKIN' AWAY, HIGH CRIME, AFTER
ALL, ROOF GARDEN, LOVE IS WAITING, CLOSER TO YOUR LOVE and many more), WHO'S HOLDING DONNA NOW with DeBarge, several hits with Manhattan
Transfer such as TWILIGHT ZONE/TWILIGHT TONE, ON THE BOULEVARD, SMILE AGAIN, SPIES IN THE NIGHT (a potential James Bond theme), just to
name a few.
